CAUTION: Startup files for next startup must be saved under the root directory.
You can copy or move a file to change the path of it to the root directory. For
description of the corresponding command, refer to "Specifying a Boot ROM File
for the Next Device Boot" on page 1040.
The FTP server uses two modes to update files when you upload files (use the put
command) to the FTP server:
In fast mode, the FTP server starts writing data to the Flash after file transfer
■
completes. This protects the files intended to be overwritten on the device from
being corrupted in the event that anomalies, power failure for example, occur
during a file transfer.
In normal mode, the FTP server writes data to the Flash during file transfer. This
■
means that any anomaly, power failure for example, during file transfer might
result in file corruption on the router. This mode, however, consumes less
memory space than the fast mode.
Follow these steps to configure the FTP server:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable the FTP server
Configure the idle-timeout
timer
Set the file update mode in
FTP
To allow an FTP user to access certain directories on the FTP server, you need to
create an account for the user, authorizing access to the directories and
associating the username and password with the account.
